FAQs About Horse Riding Helmets
How should a horse riding helmet fit?
Your helmet should sit level on your head, feel snug all around, and not tip or move when you shake your head. Always adjust the chin strap for a secure fit.
When should I replace my riding helmet?
Replace your helmet after any impact, even if no damage is visible. Helmets should also be replaced every 5 years of regular use as materials degrade over time.
Are polocrosse helmets different from standard riding helmets?
Yes – polocrosse helmets are designed with reinforced protection and often paired with a face guard for extra safety during the game.
Why do I need a medical armband at competitions?
A medical armband provides vital health and contact information to event organisers in case of an accident, and is often required for compliance.
Do I need to wear a hair net under my helmet?
Hair nets like the Equi-Net Knot Free help keep your hair tidy and secure under your helmet, improving comfort and giving a polished appearance in the ring.
